Local Chef Competes On NBC's "Food Fighters"

The Blue Moon Café in Fells Point fills up early every day with folks clamoring for one of its specialties like its famous Cap'n Crunch French Toast.

Owner Sarah Simington is testing her skills in the kitchen against a home chef on the NBC show "Food Fighters."

A home chef goes head-to-head against a professional chef in each of five rounds increasing in difficulty. The last round is against a celebrity chef like Baltimore's Duff Goldman. In each round, both chefs have to prepare the same dish selected by the home chef as one of his or her specialties. A group of judges decides the winner.

If the home chef wins, there is a cash prize. Simington said the biggest challenge is that the professional chefs don't have any idea what they're cooking before the show.
